This study employs the SBAS-InSAR technique to process Sentinel-1A ascending and descending orbit SAR data from 2014 to 2022, focusing on the impact of the Baige landslide-induced river damming event on the activity of the nearest downstream landslide cluster. The Shadong landslide, which was significantly affected by the damming, was selected for terrain-constrained three-dimensional (3D) deformation inversion using InSAR, with GNSS observations used to validate model performance. Results indicate that, following the damming event, deformation rates of the riverside landslides generally increased by a factor of 3 to 7. In particular, the Shadong landslide, located on the concave bank of the Jinsha River, exhibited a notably impacted area of approximately 1.85 km2, with the maximum deformation rate increasing up to 7 times compared to the pre-damming period. The 3D deformation analysis demonstrates that the Aspect-Parallel Flow (APF) terrain-constrained model outperforms the Surface-Parallel Flow (SPF) model in reconstructing the deformation pattern of the Shadong landslide.
